	Response to Jacob Neusner Religious Education - Find Articles
		Jacob Neusner's critique of my original essay, "Teaching Jewish Studies in a Radically Gentile Space: Some Personal Reflections," fails to recognize it as a piece of self-referential reflection that does not represent how the course was actually taught.
		Neusner rightly notes that I don't "refer to data of social science and demography." The piece was supposed to be impressionistic.
		Neusner found ethnocentrism, the "viewpoint of a ghetto." Certainly I never believed that the "common [academic] arena" of Judaism that he and I share might yield consensus.

		Neusner's detailed comparison of The Fathers and The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan demonstrates the transmission and elaboration of these stories and shows how these processes incorporated the newer view of the sage as a supernatural figure and of the eschatological character of Judaic teleology.
		As Neusner demonstrates, this experiment with narrative went beyond the borders of rabbinic preoccupation with rhetorical argumentation focused on the explication of the Torah.

	The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles
		Neusner would seem to embody the Mishnah’s injunction to ”say little and do much” — except that he somehow finds ample time, apart from doing much, to say much as well in a variety of media.
		Neusner upset Israeli academics, among others, by arguing that the teachings given in the name of individual rabbis in the Talmud couldn’t, as a rule, be attributed to those individual rabbis.
		Neusner writes, “In the aftermath of the two world wars and defeats of millennial proportions, the message of the Mishnah cannot have proved more pertinent.”

	Introduction to Rabbinic Literature by Jacob Neusner @ CenturyOne Bookstore
		In short, this book explores the formative age of rabbinic literature, and tells in a simple, straightforward way what these documents are, where to find them, how to read them, and why their contents matter - and it does this all within the confines of one volume.
		With the hands of a master scholar, Neusner weaves together the rich tapestry of documents that make up the literature of the rabbis, and shows why they are often called "The Other Half of the Torah" - the oral Torah, for they contain the commentary of the great rabbis on ancient scripture.
		And in the writing of this text, Jacob Neusner has created the definitive and indispensable guide for all those interested in the intriguing world of the rabbis during the centuries immediately following the emergence of Christianity.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Economics of the Mishnah, by Jacob Neusner, Hardcover
		In this compelling study, Jacob Neusner argues that economics is an active and generative ingredient of the system of the Mishnah.
		Jacob Neusner begins by surveying previous work on economics and Judaism, the best known being Werner Sombart's The Jews and Modern Capitalism.
		Neusner shows that the framers of the Mishnah imagined a distributive economy functioning through the Temple and priesthood, while also legislating for the action of markets.
